Chatpt quietly released what I think is
one of the most useful updates it's had
in a long time and for some reason I
didn't see a big announcement about it
and I haven't seen anyone really talk
about it and it's available right now to
all free accounts. So I wanted to show
you exactly what it is and there's one
more update that I haven't covered
before that came out in the last month
or so that I also will cover before the
end of the video too. So let me show you
here in my chat GPT account. update is
part of the way you use projects. And
ever since projects got released, I've
been using it more and more and they
recently became available to everyone
for free. They used to only be part of a
paid plan, but they got some really big
upgrade here that I wanted to show you.
If you don't use projects, basically
anytime you press create a new project,
it will let you create folders inside of
your chat GPT account to keep different
subjects and different topics organized.
So I do this for very specific projects
and I also do it for broad category of
projects. So all my script writing for
example has its own project here. You
can see all these projects here on the
left side. The other thing that's really
important about projects if you don't
use them is projects allow you to keep
things self-contained as far as the
memory of chat GPT goes. So this project
only option allows you to create
projects where chat GPT won't look into
previous conversations or saved
memories. So this is really interesting
because I typically use notebook LM for
this very specific purpose because if
you choose this option you could create
a project and it'll have its own
knowledge base but it won't go and find
things that are not relevant to that
knowledge base. So it keeps things
self-contained. A really useful option
that they have that you could turn on
here. But when you create a project
here, let me actually go to an existing
one we have here. The nice thing about
it is you could have for example a
knowledge base. So, I've uploaded a
knowledge base here, and this is going
to be self-contained. So, meaning it's
not going to look into previous
conversations. It'll just pull in from
this knowledge base. You could see all
previous chats in one central location.
So, everything we're doing about
improving our content catalog is going
to be all available here with previous
chats. If I press the plus sign, I still
have access to all the different tools
we have access to inside of regular chat
GPT, including things that have
connected like Dropbox here. And here's
the new update. You could now share
them. So, if I press share, I could
share it a couple of different ways. I
could share it with an invite only link.
If I have a business plan is which I
have here, I could share it with people
here. And if you have a regular free
account or a plus account, you could
also share it with a link that's
available to anyone that uses that link.
And this is what ends up happening when
they accept it. You could allow them to
chat with it or you could also allow
them to edit this project. So they could
then add their own knowledge base. So
imagine you're working with someone else
on this. You could share all your files
here to build out the knowledge base of
this project and the other person could
do the same thing. We could both go to
the custom instruction here, which is
something projects have add your own
custom instruction. So, this project
will behave differently than anything
else inside of chat GPT. And they'll
also be able to see any previous chats
that you've had and you could see
theirs. That is incredible way to use
chat GPT between different people and
you could also share them publicly with
a public link online. So, anybody could
use your project. Now, there has always
been something called GPTs. The reason
why I think this chat GPT update is such
a big deal is because now it gives you
another way to basically create GPTs
that I think in some cases are much
better. Now, I still use GPTs all the
time. I mean, these are all the
different GPTs I use pretty much every
single week. And I sometimes share these
publicly, like this one is available for
publicly use, too. But now, you could
basically do the same thing with
projects. Now, you're not going to have
a nice organized store like this with
all kinds of different categories, but
if you still use GPTs, you may want to
look into using projects instead. I
think they still have a place. Both of
them are still are somewhat relevant,
but I think projects will slowly take
over GPTs. I think they're just an
easier way to make them. GPT still, if
you press create, for example, inside of
GPT is still a little bit involved here
on what you got to do. And projects are
super easy. You just upload your
knowledge base, a custom instruction,
share, and it's ready to go. Now, the
other thing I wanted to show you that
also came out recently, which I did not
cover in a video, is called company
knowledge, and it's available in the
business plan. So, if you click this
option right here, it will use
everything that your company has stored
in its knowledge base inside of chat.
So, where do those things come from?
Well, I give it access to our Dropbox.
We have pretty much all our scripts, all
our course transcripts, ton of different
SOPs inside of Dropbox. I also gave it
access to my Google calendar so it could
see our schedule there. I'm also about
to give it access to our Google Drive,
which my account has access to Google
Drive, but the company knowledge base
does not. So, I'm organizing my Google
Drive. So, this will be specific to this
company. And you could also add all
kinds of other things like Gmail here,
things from HubSpot, all that is
available that you could connect and
then just turn it on and your company
knowledge base just like this gets
pulled into a conversation and you could
turn individual sources on and off here
if you don't want to use them. Now, in
the last couple years, I really took my
time and organized my knowledge base. We
actually have one inside of notion, too.
So, I have everything organized into
SOPs, into processes, into things like
how-to videos, internal how-to videos
from our company. So, everybody has
access to everything now inside of our
business plan here. You just turn this
on pretty much every time you have a
question about how to do something in
our business, our processes, and it
knows everything right inside of Chat
GPT. And one last thing I wanted to
mention for our Skill Leap members, we
just released a brand new course. This
one I've been working on for a while.
It's a digital marketing master class.
It's almost 3 hours long here and this
just got released inside of our Skilly
platform. So, you have access to it if
you're an existing member. If you're not
a member right now, we still have a
7-day free trial. So, you could jump in
here and you get access to all our
courses as well as all our learning
paths. So, I'm organizing everything
into very specific learning paths. So,
you get four or five courses in linear
order here. So, you don't have to go to
our all courses tab and figure out what
you want. But if you do want to learn
something specific, we pretty much have
courses on just about everything. Kevin
and Andrew are also instructors that
have several courses. We have Vololo
that teaches AI coding by coding, AI
agents we teach. So all these are
available. And we've also added a
calendar here to show you all the new
courses that we have coming up. We
pretty much have one or two course
getting released every single month now.
And I'm updating our entire back catalog
too to make it a central place where
everything is up to date. So, I'll put a
link in the description if you want to
sign up for Skilly. We have a monthly
and yearly plan, but they both have a
free trial to make sure it's a good fit
for you. I also covered Chat GPT
projects in far more detail before this
update came out, so I'll include that
video here. So, the sharing option
included with everything else in that
video should make you a master of chat
GPT projects.
